31 Orders, Space Crew. 

That’s all that’s separating us from publication. Every single order counts. 

I need your help to keep our momentum going. Because I don’t want to stop at 250. I want to go all the way to fully funded, and for that we’re running out of time.

If you’re following this project but haven’t yet grabbed a copy of your own, now is the time. 

If you ordered the e-book and are now considering a physical (signed) copy, that gets us closer too. 

If you haven’t yet recommended the book to your friends, you can use the Inkshares recommendation links and earn credit at the same time. 

All of these activities also mean prizes! (info here)

 

So please, keep that support coming. I’ve already started on the theme song. 



Your Sophisticated and Sensational Space Captain,
-AC

    Dave Barrett liked an update for Abomination

    Hey Abomination fans! Just a reminder that I now have a book club kinda thing set up at Inkshares wherein I recommend one new book every month. For a meager monthly subscription you get a copy of every book I pick! Here’s the link to the club:

    And here’s this month’s selection! Fun!

      Dave Barrett liked an update for Deus Hex Machina

      So I just got an email from Inkshares, letting me know Deus Hex Machina was selected as this month’s CEO Syndicate pick!  Alluva sudden we’ve blown past 200 orders, and are almost to 220!  It’s amazing!

      Thank you to everyone who believes in this book.  It means so much that you are falling in love with Isidore, Dax, and the crew as much as I am. 

      In other less gushy news, I finished chapter 4 today, so I am fixing to send that out to those who have preordered. If you want to make sure you get yours, please add yourself to my email list and I’ll mark you as a preorder VIP.  

      This chapter features the end of the Archive hexing sequence, as well as the results of what Isidore learns from her efforts there. It’s quite a fun ride. I had a blast sending her back into the Grid, and I can’t wait to hear what you readers think after reading it.

      Alright, I need to get back to planning Chapter 5’s big set piece. Joseph Asphahani would be proud.

      Love,
      Amanda

        Dave Barrett liked an update for Ageless

        Well, here we go!

        THE EBOOK IS LIVE AND READY FOR YOUR DOWNLOAD! Just login to Inkshares, click your profile pic in the right corner, go to your bookshelf and DOWNLOAD!

        Also, the physical copies of the book are at the warehouse and begin shipping ASAP! By the end of the week (roughly) you should have your copy of AGELESS in your hand, just like the one below!


        When you get it, TAG IT and yourself on ALL social media with the hashtags #AgelessByPaulInman, #scifibooks, and tag me @paulinmansc on Twitter and Instagram!

        REVIEWS ARE THE LIFE BLOOD OF BOOKS - read the story then keep Ageless alive (heh, puns) by posting a short written review on the following platforms:

        GOODREADS PAGE - NOW OPEN and we are 4.75 out 5 stars!

        AMAZON PAGE - Not open yet, but it will open SOON (around Pub date, May 3rd). Just copy your Goodreads review to the Amazon page when it’s live.

        I’m shooting for at least 60 positive reviews on these platforms, which is VERY doable! Just talk about why you liked it...or I’ll make it easy for you - just copy and paste -

        I loved the book! Pick up a copy!

        (IF you feel like the story wasn’t up to your standards please contact me HERE in lieu of a poor review, and tell me how I can grow as a writer for my next project. It would benefit me more to have an open conversation with you than a poor review)

        Don’t forget, WE HAVE A VENUE FOR THE LAUNCH PARTY! I’ve partnered up with a local comic book shop called Coastal Comics! Saturday, MAY 7, 12-2pm. Come and hang out with me! Get your copy of Ageless signed and maybe hear a reading and MAYBE get some free swag...(again, who is paying for that?) Also, pick up a free comic book while you’re there for Free Comic Book Day!

        Last, but certainly not least, this entire experience is possible because of YOU. I couldn’t have made it this far without your support. Thank you will never be enough.

            Dave Barrett liked an update for Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside

            Happy April! I’m back in Oakland after a week on the East Coast and have a few updates to share with you:

            1) I read two excerpts from UMDC at the Boston Public Library on April 7th. Thank you to everyone who came out (despite the rain) to support me! If you weren’t able to make it, here is a short recap from the library’s website:

            http://www.bpl.org/press/2016/04/08/quincy-carroll-author-of-up-to-the-mountains-and-down-to-the-countryside-brings-a-captive-audience-to-rural-china/

            2) UMDC recently won the Silver Medal for Contemporary Fiction in the IPPY Book Award Competition! First established in 1996, the IPPYs are considered one of the highest honors for books published by independent authors:

            http://www.independentpublisher.com/article.php?page=2045&urltitle=2016%20Independent%20Publisher%20Book%20Awards%20Results

            3) WorldTeach, the program through which I volunteered in China, has agreed to purchase a copy of UMDC for each of their teachers in 2016! Applications are still open, so if you are interested in living/working abroad, check out their website:

            http://www.worldteach.org/programs/china/

            That’s all for now! If you could mention the book to 1 person this week, I’d really appreciate it. Also, here are the Amazon and Goodreads pages for the book, if you have time to leave a review. Thanks for your continued support!

              ONE GOAL DOWN!!  THANK YOU

              So we JUST hit the quill goal which means the book will be published it will get an ISBN and it will be real honest book!

              You all are the best. I’m so excited to get this story into people’s hands and I can’t thank you enough.

              ONWARD to the full goal!

              So we’re a third of the way to the full publishing goal. If we get 750 pre-orders we not only get published but get a full edit and polish, professional type people sweating over the cover art and armies of marketing people planning spectacular things including author events, bookstore placement and more!

              So if you can, please spread the word. In fact, mathematically speaking, if each of you convince two other people to preorder, we would be guaranteed to get the full publishing goal. It’s science!

              In celebration of hitting this first goal I’m adding a new sample chapter for you to take a look at. I hope you enjoy!

                Dave Barrett liked an update for Beyond The Code

                Hey there wonderful people, 

                For those of you who might not know, the Beyond the Code campaign is down to 33 days left with only 73 orders till Quill and only 23 orders till the next 50 Point Raffle. If you like what I’ve written and want to support the project now’s the time. If we all pull together we can pull this off and make this dream come true. If you don’t believe me check out Beyond the Code’s page on Inkshares to see what other members of the community are saying. Here is a review from Joseph Asphahani: 


                Kelsey Rae Barthel’s gift for second-to-second description of the action is captivating. There’s a reason this much action isn’t often seen in a novel, but in the case of "Beyond the Code" it works to great effect. Why? The story begins with a knock-down, drag-out brawl between rival warriors, a fight that defines the relationship between them and plants the seeds of a greater story yet to be told. The first chapter alone is an indication, a definition of this violent world itself, a world I truly look forward to visiting in full when the pages of "Beyond the Code" make their way to my fingertips.


                And there are pretty more exciting and flattering reviews like this one to make you want to jump right on-board the Beyond the Code bandwagon. This book has several good reviews and has been recommended by 19 other Inkshares authors and users like you. See what they’re talking about today!
